NOTE: The passenger front airbag may not deploy even
when the driver front airbag has if the Occupant Classi-
fication System (refer to ⬙Occupant Classification Sys-
tem”) has determined the passenger seat is empty or is
occupied by someone that is classified in the ⬙child⬙ size
category. This could be a child, teenager, or even a adult.
WARNING!
•
No objects should be placed over or near the
airbag on the instrument panel, because any such
objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash
severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.
